The polynomial equation of degree 4 having real coefficients with three of its roots as \(2 \pm \sqrt{3}\)…

The polynomial equation of degree 4 having real coefficients with three of its roots as \(2 \pm \sqrt{3}\) and \(1+2 i\), is
  1. \(x^4-6 x^3-14 x^2+22 x+5=0\)
  2. \(x^4-6 x^3-19 x+22 x-5=0\)
  3. \(x^4-6 x^3+19 x-22 x+5=0\)
  4. \(x^4-6 x^3+14 x^2-22 x+5=0\)

Solution

It is given that, the polynomial equation of degree 4 having real coefficients with three of its roots as \(2 \pm \sqrt{3}\) and \(l+2 i\), so the remaining root is \(1-2 i\). Now, the quadratic equation whose roots as \(2 \pm \sqrt{3}\) is \(x^2-4 x+1=0 \text {, and }\) the quadratic equation whose roots as \(1 \pm 2 i\), is \(x^2-2 x+5=0\) So, the required polynomial equation is \(\begin{aligned} \left(x^2-4 x+1\right)\left(x^2-2 x+5\right) & =0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad x^4-6 x^3+14 x^2-22 x+5 & =0 \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (4) is correct.
